About us
Norwich is less than an hour away from some of the most un-spoilt coastline that England has to offer. When walking on some of our local beaches, the only other inhabitants are likely to be the resident breeding colony of grey seals. In the winter months a walk along the dunes will bring you right up close to the newborn seal pups waiting for their parents to return from the sea with their fish meal! Norfolk is also, rightly so, famous for The Broads, a network of navigable rivers and lakes, created by ancient peat excavation. The Broads total an area of 303 square kilometers and are Britain’s largest protected wetland, supporting wealth of fish, birds, insects and mammals including otters.
